My name is Ryan and I am new to the forum. I currently live on Long Island but have been visiting the Catskills for the past 25 years. I have only recently entered the world of hiking and back packing as a way to escape city living. As of this past summer, I have taken an interest in hiking all of 35 peaks in the Catskills over 3500Ft.I have already completed Hunter, Windham High Peak and Westkill. I have my eye on Marcy and Washington in the near future as well! I am looking forward to getting to know many of you and perhaps even seeing you out on the trails!
